I heard you mention that you almost had a couple of aces in one round I think. Wasn't that Saturday PM? It helps a ton stepping up to an iron show with the confidence of knowing your specs are right and that your irons are ready to perform. The RXT's are indeed badass irons, if people didn't have blinders on and just hit everything and decided on the best feel and performance they'd be the best selling iron on the market in my opinion.
Well it wasn't like sliced off the planet Jake Straight...it had just a little Jake Wiggle to it is all. All my shots have some element of Jake Straight to them, even putts....case in point my 5 downhill 5 footer at Grand Cypress. Wicked action on that baby,

That goes to show just how great these irons are. If you're ball striking was just a bit off and yet you were hitting shots like that....impressive. Every time you setup to an iron shot in our match I was expecting it to be all over the stick and a lot of the times it was. Was it hole 12 on the Palmer that you stuffed one and went on to birdie? That stands out...as does your solid shot on 16, dead into that wind and all carry that shot was no joke and you hit it solid and even better was you nailed the putt. I knew you'd make that putt too.
I would have bet someone $100 that you'd make it. Not because it was an easy putt, far from it. What, 25 feet sort of across the break so it was moving and up hill and slow? I knew you'd do it, that match was so fun. And when the pressure was squarely on you to put up down the stretch you did it. On 17 I was a wreck, even my RXT AW couldn't perform under that pressure from 100 yds out. It was the club I used for that nice pitch shot that setup the par save though. Good stuff!
Well see here's the thing, I rarely tap into that reserve power but had we been 1 down with 1 to play I probably would have done it. Instead I figured I'd go ahead and hit a weak slice and rely on my partner One-T who piped one right down the middle instead. I could have done it if you just would have made that putt on 17. Easy.
It was a great match, I figured it would be too. I know this isn't the place to talk about that match in particular but since we're on the subject for a second what I think was happening was this. It's no secret that One-T and I have both had our struggles against you and we really had to believe that we could beat you guys if we had any chance at all. Well going into #8 down 2 then winning the next 4 holes was both exciting and a little strange. Each hole I felt better and better and just thought that this was our time. After we went back up 2 on 14 with that almost ace with my RXT PW which I love and is more forgiving and longer than any tour iron out there I think we really finally then thought we were going to do it. We never once talked about it, we just wanted to keep playing good golf. Well then on 15 you stuck a wedge to 3 feet and we couldn't convert our birdie a little wind left our sails. That's probably why we (I) made you putt that one. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you'd make it and very likely (and eventually did) birdie 16 as well. Then 17 happened and I could barely feel my legs I was so nervous, to pull out of that hole with a halve when you and OEM were well within birdie range and we were still off the green was huge. Then to walk up to the 18th green both with long putts after we all hit decent shots with our RXT mid/short irons which feel and perform great I figured that a good 2 putt would tie the match and an unlikely bomb could win. So to walk off 18 halving that match was very exciting and I honestly wouldn't want it to have gone any different, both teams played too well to lose, we traded great shots with our RXT irons, it was a match that I'll never forget.
Kmac helped you out a ton too.
